Floor joint sealing in Creag Ghoraidh
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on concrete floor joints, thresholds and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and rigid edge joints in tiled floors.
For a place like Creag Ghoraidh, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Creag Ghoraidh as everywhere else we work.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
What we’re called out for in Creag Ghoraidh
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
For jobs in and around Creag Ghoraidh, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why deal with it now?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Questions from Creag Ghoraidh
Is floor joint sealing in Creag Ghoraidh guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Creag Ghoraidh within the area you cover?
Yes. Creag Ghoraidh is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product, and silicone elsewhere.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. We can plan around your opening times with out-of-hours work where needed.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around Creag Ghoraidh depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.

- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.

- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
